It took about half an hour sitting on the floor to pack up everything for the show; pretty manageable! Things I forgot: Square reader (doing okay with Venmo, PayPal and cash so far), napkins for the treat samples. Could use another napkin holder or something to hold cards upright…
I spent a few hours this afternoon dutifully resting, watching some more Lockwood and Co., and hand-sewing some little felt lavender-stuffed hearts. Soothing on multiple fronts…
